You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first put your equation in y=mx+b form
y=3-4x would be y=-4x+3 your slope is m...In this case the slope is -4
to get the y intercept set x = 0 and solve for y your answer will be (0,y)
y=3-0 (0,3) for y intercept in this case
to get the x intercept set y = 0 and solve for x your answer (x,0)
0=4x+3
-3=-4x
3/4=x (3/4,0) is your x intercept
plot these two points on your graph. Then use your slope -4/1 (rise over run)
from one of the plotted points, go down 4 (negative moves down) and over 1. you will see how this will plot out once you start.
